"The Fan Club Orchestra is a side project of Scratch Pet Land with more or less 10 people involved. They play percussion, guitar, harmonica, gameboys, mouth organs, trombone, turntables and lots of other instruments and devices. Everything depends on the energy of the group and their ability to improvise together. Laurent Baudoux gives the directions on an overhead projector (like the ones businessmen use for their meetings). He makes drawings, gives the BPM, he introduces musical themes and he manipulates the mixing board that gets all the sounds of all the musicians. After all the sound data is recorded (at live concerts or improv sessions) Laurent and Nicolas Baudoux edit the recordings in their studio. Now the two vinyl records of the Fan Club Orchestra have been remastered and edited to become the first electronic-live-improv-orchestra compact disc." (label info)
